Pass me the eye bleach please...home brew conveyances

Every now and again I see something I just can't identify. Thought I start a thread so the hive mind of AS can help work out what these mystery vehicles are.



Any ideas?

Not the Transit...

AS thread here: https://autoshite.com/topic/35951-the-w ... hat-thread
Ebay link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254254621626

Now, lets put aside the hive mind of AS, etc. being rather depleted and other such irrelevant tosh and concentrate on that green abomination...

It is of course a heavily disguised Citroen ID19. Here's my reply:

Here's a pic (eye-bleach available from your local pharmacy):

In its "better" days:

It was on ebay back in Jan 2015, it was bidded up to a whopping £3100, but if those tranny pics are recent, the deal was never seen through as it is still sitting there (same vendor).

Over to you to discuss this and any other home brew tat.

I like it, its just like a Type 2 VW in a fairground mirror. I find the 1966 bollocks on the Transit more offensive to be honest, mainly because it's on a Mk2

The Transit appears to be an imprecise replica of the minibus in The Italian Job.
I would not be surprised if was done to demonstrate that the owner was on their way to Le Mans as part of some baffling PH cringefest.

Anything looks better than a DS/ID, so does this.

I like it.

The size of that lettering on the front. Reminds me of the SpastoMaxi.

As posted on a photo thread, this portacabin on wheels is the Birkie Beast made by a friend of my dad's in the 80s for transporting guns up Scottish hills. Deutz diesel driving a pump for 8 hydraulic motors.

It looks fine to me, it's fit for purpose, whereas the ID based 'thing' just looks crap, like someone's sliced a van horizontally and inserted an additional section.

It used to live in the same shed as Kirrie's blackening cage. I think the shed has gone now though.
